A possible reading of   in A

A probable reading of   in A

GE (→FE→EE)

The extent of the hairpin mark  in A is unclear; the lower arms reaches the 3rd beat of the bar, while the upper one only the second beat. We consider the upper arm to be a reliable indication, and we give that length in the main text. In GE (→FE→EE) the mark is even shorter, which definitely fails to reflect Chopin's intention.
